Chad - A question for the next Bolt Podcast. With Stamkos and Johnson seemingly set as the top 2 centers for many years. Add in Boyle who is signed for the next 2 years and Paquette who seems to play better at center than wing - where does that leave Namestnikov next year? It would seem that he has nothing left to prove in the AHL.

My messageboard time keeps shrinking and I'm spending it on Twitter on behalf of BP. I'm able to do more for us there than on the forum, and every time I think I need to go to the forum I assume I'm going to be on for an hour, so I put it off. I'm not happy about it. I should be on there more, making time for it.

Congrats on the win! I was just in Port Huron. I could have taunted some folks for ya.

why'd you leave us?? You and Pete are the two guys I always enjoy reading.

btw we did win the 60+ in April Tampa Tropics ..We Beat a team from Port Huron 7-1 in the finals. Bolts even gave us 30 seconds on the jumbotron during a tv/snow cleaning time out during a game the next weekend...

forgot to mention,,,as I'm going into our locker room for our second game, this big tall guy comes off the ice for the Essex NJ team...I'm looking at him as the team coach comes over to unlock the door to let him in...appears as though he's gotta take a leak...I look again, and its Larry Robinson...yup #4 is playing 50+ Nationals division for Essex NJ. He lives in Plant City so I guess that makes him a yank...that and he's a HOF...hahahahah They were in the other draw so we didn't play them...he still looked damn smooth though..

Well, we got smoked by a couple of teams from minn aaaa soooota. First team we played (Heartland) was captained by a Jensen--not sure of the first name--that was a US olympian..they beat us 5-0, which we were told was a strong effort, since they beat the other teams in the Nationals division like a drum,,,12-0 in one case.

Anyway, the Labatts was cold and we had a good time overall.

I've got a pic and accompnaying item that relates to Ovechkin that is not for public consumption, but you'll find it f ing hilarious...
